BHUBANESWAR: The GIS-based web portal of the Capital City, BhubaneswarOne.in, has bagged the Geospatial Application Excellence Award from the Centre.

The award was given to Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) at the recently held Geo-Smart India 2019 event at New Delhi. General Manager, BSCL, Saroj Kumar Swain received the award from Minister of State for External Affairs General Vijay Kumar Singh.
